MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Unaudited)

The following discussion summarizes the financial position and results of operations of High Plains Farm Credit, ACA for the six months ended June 30, 2018, with comparisons to prior periods. You should read these comments along with the accompanying financial statements and footnotes and the 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders. The accompanying financial statements were prepared under the oversight of our Audit Committee. High Plains Farm Credit’s annual and quarterly reports to stockholders are available on the Association’s website, HighPlainsFarmCredit.com or can be obtained free of charge by contacting the Association’s headquarters at (620) 285-6978. Annual reports are available 75 days after year-end and quarterly reports are available 40 days after each calendar quarter end. The financial condition and results of operations of CoBank, ACB (CoBank), materially affect the risk associated with stockholder investments in High Plains Farm Credit, ACA. Stockholders of High Plains Farm Credit, ACA may obtain copies of CoBank’s financial statements free of charge by visiting CoBank’s website, CoBank.com or by contacting us at our Larned headquarters office located at 605 Main, Larned, KS 67550-0067 or by calling us at (620) 285-6978. Effective October 1, 2017, Farm Credit of Ness City, FLCA was merged into High Plains Farm Credit, ACA. The merger united two strong Associations with deep Kansas roots, into a financial institution of greater capital, capacity and human resources to better serve Kansas agriculture. The merged association continues to conduct business as High Plains Farm Credit, ACA with headquarters located in Larned, KS. Kevin Swayne is President and Chief Executive Officer of the continuing Association. For purposes of the management discussion and analysis, unless otherwise noted, reference to “the Association” represents High Plains Farm Credit from a current, historic and future perspective. Beginning October 1, 2017 our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related metrics include the effects of the merger. Upon the closing of the merger, we acquired assets at fair value of $343.3 million and assumed liabilities at fair value of $273.2 million, thus net assets increased by $70.1 million. CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS

According to the U.S. drought monitor, drought conditions in our territory are categorized as “normal” to “extreme drought” conditions. Recent rains have improved moisture conditions but some drought pockets remain. Winter wheat harvest is nearly complete across the territory, with yields ranging from 15 to 60 bushels per acre in the field and farm averages between 30 and 40 bushels per acre. The drought through the winter months had the largest impact on yields, while large hail areas affected others. Since March, wheat prices have increased while all other cash grains have decreased. The recent tariffs imposed by China in retaliation to U.S. tariffs have caused a dramatic decrease in soybeans price. Support in the wheat market has come from improved basis as grain merchandisers vie for bushels and protein. Crop insurance continues to be utilized to help manage risk in this area. Cattle markets have fluctuated since last quarter as fat cattle prices close the quarter at roughly 12% lower, while feeder cattle prices have been steady. Profitability is mixed depending on cattle and class. Slaughter continues to keep feed yards current as we move into the summer months. The weakened real estate market appears to be showing signs of stabilizing as recent sales have held steady for most tracts of land throughout the territory. Buyers continue to be traditional farmers and ranchers. LOAN PORTFOLIO

The loan portfolio consists of agricultural real estate loans, agricultural production operating loans and intermediate-term loans. Loans outstanding at June 30, 2018, totaled $1.11 billion, an increase of $49.4 million (4.67%) from loans of $1.06 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase is primarily due to new loans originated and advances in excess of loan pay-offs and pay-downs. Advance conditional payments totaled $13.3 million at June 30, 2018, an increase of $6.7 million (100.71%), from $6.6 million at December 31, 2017. The advance conditional payment accounts are impacted by seasonal conditions. Typically, stockholders utilize these accounts as they find themselves with excess cash. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Beginning October 1, 2017, results of operations and related metrics include the effects of the merger. Results presented prior to October 1, do not reflect the impact of the merger.

High Plains Farm Credit posted strong financial results for the six-month period ending June 30, 2018. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $13.5 million, an increase of $6.3 million (87.64%) from the same period ended one year ago. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in loan volume and efficiencies gained from the merger with Farm Credit of Ness City.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $15.1 million, an increase of $5.5 million (58.05%) compared with the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net interest income, as compared to June 30, 2017, increased primarily due to additional loan volume, largely acquired from the merger. The increase is also due in part to higher earnings on owner equity.

The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $507 thousand, a decrease of $151 thousand (22.95%) from the same period ended one year ago. While there has been some expected credit deterioration in the loan portfolio due to adverse agricultural economic conditions in our region, the overall risk profile has remained relatively stable leading to a lower provision in the current period compared to the same period last year.

Noninterest income increased $1.5 million during the first six months of 2018 compared with the first six months in 2017 primarily due to the allocated premium refund of $755 thousand from the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC). This was our portion of excess funds above the secure base amount in the FCSIC Allocated Insurance Reserve Accounts. Refer to Note 1 in the 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders for additional information about FCSIC. The $500 thousand increase in patronage income is primarily due to patronage received from CoBank related to the additional loan volume acquired from the merger. Financially related services increased $69 thousand, compared to the prior year primarily due to the implementation of FASB guidance “Revenue from Contracts with customers” which impacts the timing related to reporting crop insurance commissions. (See Note 1 of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements). All other increases were largely attributable to the merger.

We received mineral income of $198 thousand during the first six months of 2018, which is distributed to us quarterly from CoBank. The increase of $37 thousand compared to the first six months of 2017 is due to the merger.

During the first six months of 2018, noninterest expense increased $1.03 million to $5.65 million. The increase is net of efficiencies gained from the merger. An increase of $478 thousand in salaries and benefits and an increase of $240 thousand in purchased services from Agvantis are due to additional employees while the increase in occupancy and equipment of $78 thousand is primarily due to costs associated with an additional branch location (i.e., Ness City). These increases were partially offset by an $88 thousand decrease in the Farm Credit Insurance Fund premium. Noninterest expense efficiencies gained due to the merger were approximately $1.2 million through the second quarter of 2018. CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2018 was $234.1 million, an increase of $15.9 million from $218.2 million at December 31, 2017. This increase is due to year-to-date net income and net stock issuances, partially offset by preferred stock dividends declared. The Association’s Class H Preferred Stock dividend rate at June 30, 2018 was 3.25%. The dividend rate is a per annum rate subject to change each month. BUILDING PROJECTS

As High Plains Farm Credit continues to expand products and services for our stockholders, we also need infrastructure which is commensurate with our current and future growth. In March, the board of directors approved a building addition to the Hays office located on Vine Street. The expansion will provide eight additional offices, public meeting space and a basement for storage and future growth. Construction commenced in May and is expected to be completed during the fall of 2018. The net project cost is expected to be just over $1 million. The project will be funded by sale of the administrative office location in downtown Hays and financing through CoBank.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in Thousands, Except as Noted)

(Unaudited) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A description of the organization and operations of High Plains Farm Credit, ACA (the Association), the significant accounting policies followed, and the financial condition and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, are contained in the 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders. These unaudited second quarter 2018 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, as contained in the 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information is complete and reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018. Descriptions of the significant accounting policies are included in the 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders. In the opinion of management, these policies and the presentation of the interim financial condition and results of operations conform with GAAP and prevailing practices within the banking industry.

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance entitled “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This guidance allows for the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the recently issued tax legislation, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that lowered the federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The amount of the reclassification shall include the effect of the change in the tax rate on gross deferred tax amounts and related valuation allowances at the date of enactment of the TCJA related to items remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance becomes effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Association has early adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2018, and there was no impact on the Association’s financial condition or results of operations.

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance entitled “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Cost.” The guidance requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. Other components are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. This guidance becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Association’s financial condition or results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance entitled “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The guidance addresses specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the diversity in the classification of these cash flows. Included in the cash flow issues are debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs and settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing. This guidance becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Association’s financial condition or its results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance entitled “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale securities would also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. For public business entities that are not U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers this guidance becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early application permitted. The Association is evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial condition and results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance entitled “Leases.” The guidance requires the recognition by lessees of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Leases with lease terms of more than 12 months are impacted by this guidance. This guidance becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early application permitted. The Association is evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial condition and results of operations.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance entitled “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.” The guidance affects, among other things, the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. For public entities, the guidance eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost. This guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Association’s financial condition or its results of operations but did impact the Association’s fair value disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance entitled, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The guidance governs revenue recognition from contracts with customers and requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Financial instruments and other contractual rights within the scope of other guidance issued by the FASB are excluded from the scope of this new revenue recognition guidance. The guidance sets forth the requirement for new and enhanced disclosures. The Association adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. As the majority of the Association’s revenues are not subject to the new guidance, the adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. NOTE 2 - LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

A restructuring of a debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. TDR volume at June 30, 2018 consisted of one nonaccrual loan. The restructure on this loan, which occurred during the first quarter of 2018, is part of a court ordered bankruptcy plan.

The following table presents additional information regarding troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the first six months of 2018 and 2017. There were no TDRs that occurred during the first three months of 2018 and 2017. For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 June 30, 2017

NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. See Note 2 to the 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders for a more complete description.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: Fair Value Measurement Using Total Fair Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Value Assets held in nonqualified benefits trusts June 30, 2018 $ 252 $ – $ – $ 252 December 31, 2017 $ 364 $ – $ – $ 364

During the first six months of 2018, the Association recorded no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2, or 3.

The Association had no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for each of the fair value hierarchy values are summarized below: Fair Value Measurement Using Total Fair Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Value June 30, 2018 Loans $ ─ $ ─ $ 280 $ 280 December 31, 2017 Loans $ ─ $ ─ $ ─ $ ─

With regard to impaired loans, it is not practicable to provide specific information on inputs as each collateral property is unique. System institutions utilize appraisals to value these loans and other property owned and takes into account unobservable inputs such as income and expense, comparable sales, replacement cost and comparability adjustments.

The Association had no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

Valuation Techniques

As more fully discussed in Note 2 to the 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders, accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following presents a brief summary of the valuation techniques used by the Association for assets and liabilities, subject to fair value measurement.

Assets Held in Non-Qualified Benefits Trusts Assets held in trust funds related to deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plans are classified within Level 1. The trust funds include investments that are actively traded and have quoted net asset values that are observable in the marketplace.

Loans Evaluated for Impairment For impaired loans measured on a non-recurring basis, the fair value is based upon the underlying collateral since the loans are collateral dependent loans for which real estate is the collateral. The fair value measurement process uses independent appraisals and other market-based information, but in many cases, it also requires significant input based on management’s knowledge of and judgment about current market conditions, specific issues relating to the collateral and other matters. As a result, these fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the hierarchy. When the value of the real estate, less estimated costs to sell, is less than the principal balance of the loan, a specific reserve is established and the net loan is reported at its fair value.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Association has evaluated subsequent events through August 3, 2018, which is the date the financial statements were issued, and no material subsequent events were identified.
